Now it was time to add the second pair of arms. Clay is soft so to extend the arms out over the pot I needed a support system. I bought some good quality balloons a few years back and now I've found uses for them. First for an octopus body and now as an arm support. I used wide packing tape to secure the balloon in place. Next I attached the arm clay at the shoulders. Both arms in place. The Tiki will be holding a trident stirring fork/weapon so I fit a stick through the hands. Drone view. Next I flattened out a piece of clay and began to cut it into the shape of a trident. More cuts. After a day I could pick it up. I began to work on hand details. Now I stuck it on the stick to see how it would look. Little by little I get more of the carving detail done. I wish you all a safe day as we continue to grieve for the people of France and our woman student from California. Wendy
